Sounds very interesting, the Spartan-6 FPGA SP601 Evaluation Kit may be a capable and not expensive (295$) model with GbE. So 700$ for the USRP, 550$ for 2 RFX-900s / 2 RFX-1800s and the 295$ for the FPGA kit, that will be 1545$ for either a full GSM900 or GSM1800 Sniffer, or 1840$ to have the

Hi Sylvain, Sascha, Thank you for corrections. I'm not a great GSM expert and still learning, you know. I think it would be great if one placed this kind of information about frequency hopping into a FAQ on the site. I.e. to answer the question: Why GSMA think of hopping as a 'security' feature

Hi, Phones can NOT capture uplink. I should have been more precise - their are configured in hardware to capture only a single channel in downlink, no more. At least all phones I'm aware of do so. Also you *have to* capture full band before you find a key, because you do not know hopping
